Green Folk Going For Zero

 

The Illawarra Folk Festival is committed to minimising waste and its impact on the environment including the recycling of plastics, glass and cupboard. Our aim is to send no waste to landfill.

This is a big task and requires attendees, campers, volunteers, stallholders and performers to work together.

There are 3 waste streams at the Festival. Each waste stream has an individual collection bin and is identified by the colour of the bin lid and signage.
